Last week, after finishing the office, I started on the guest room. I loved the accent wall in the old house guest room but I wanted this home to be lighter and brighter and I wanted to try something new. Here's how it looked before the makeover.
I gathered inspiration from Pinterest and Instagram before creating a mood board for the space.
The first thing I did was the accent wall. I started with baseboard molding as the "crown", then added the vertical pieces with thin trim from Lowes. Then, I cut the horizontal pieces to connect to the vertical ones. The final step was to patch holes, caulk and then...paint!
I picked out two paint samples that I thought were going to be awesome but they turned out to be terrible. One was way too dark and the other came out way too gray. I went back with my husband, described the perfect paint color and asked him to look for it, and lo and behold, he found the one (SW Woody Rosemary)!
Went I got the two swatches on the wall he (and our friends) loved the one on the left (SW Windswept Cliff) but it was beige, and I was set on the green, so I went for it!
I did decide to paint the closet doors with the beige and I just love the neutral doors combined with the green wall.
With the accent wall and closet doors all finished I was able to start on the decorating. I sold the old nightstands and found this really cool end table at Homegoods along with a LaJolla basket I'd been hoping to find for forever now. I added this gorgeous chandelier from Amazon and two wood frames from Target with art from North Prints to finish it off.
Here's the final result.
I have to many projects on my list for this year, I'm not sure where to start though so stay tuned.
